1 2 3 Hisar: The district unit of the All India Kisan Sabha staged a protest at the mini-secretariat on Thursday, burning an effigy of the US Vice-President in opposition to what they described as anti-farmer agricultural trade policies . The demonstration was led by district president Shamsher Singh Nambardar and conducted by tehsil secretary Ramesh Mirkan. According to Nambardar, the US Vice-President's ongoing visit to India is aimed at pushing agricultural trade terms that are heavily skewed in favour of the US. "The proposed trade agreement will allow US agricultural products to enter India with zero or nominal import duty, while India's agricultural exports will face an export duty ranging between 150 to 200%," he said. He warned that such policies could have devastating consequences for Indian agriculture. "If Indian produce cannot be exported due to such high tariffs, the country's farming sector could face collapse. These terms are unjust and one-sided," Nambardar added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Co-Founder of Google Brain, Andrew Ng, Is Reported To Have Read Every...
